Choppy conditions prevailed one recent evening along the Florida coast as we progressed toward Miami. We were behind several aircraft headed in the same direction when Miami Center told a Delta flight to slow to 260 knots in the descent. The exchange went something like this:

Delta:"260 knots?"

Miami Center:"Yes. The regional jet ahead of you has slowed."

Delta:"Is he towing a banner?"
